A
chronic case of arthritis, the rheumatoid arthritis, is an
inflammatory disorder that initially affects the joints and spreads
to other body systems. In addition to joints, the other parts
affected by this disease are eyes, skin, lungs, blood vessels and
heart.Rheumatoid arthritis is an auto immune disorder, that occurs when the immune
system mistakes the body tissues to be a foreign body and attacks it.
The tissues affected is usually the ones lining the membranes around
the joints. The joints affected by this disease appear red and
swollen with severe pain during movement. The inflammation that
develops around the joint, thickens the membrane effectively
destroying the bone and cartilage with time.

The
disease is not linked to heredity but a history of rheumatoid
arthritis in the family makes you susceptible to the factors leading
to the disease. In other words, you are at a greater risk than a
normal person. Age, smoking, obesity, environmental exposures to
certain kind of metals like asbestos are some factors associated with
the disease. Studies show that women are at greater risk of
contracting the disease than men.

A
case of rheumatoid arthritis can be diagnosed by conducting blood and
imaging tests. Blood tests look for the rheumatoid factor, anti-CCP
antibodies and an elevated rate of C-reactive protein. X-rays, ultra
sounds and MRI scans help to track the progress and severity of the
disease.

The
treatment for this disease involves medications, physiotherapy,
surgical treatments, arthroplasty (surgery replacing the damage
part), arthroscopy (surgery with the help of small tubes to remove
the damaged tissue) and joint replacement. The treatment is
progressive over time and involves a rehabilitation process also.With
